I'm poking through cleaning up the docstrings in VCS, and I found the size keyword argument on vcs.init. It passes it through to Canvas.Canvas; shouldn't we use that instead of hardcoding in default sizes that look nice on @doutriaux1's monitor (:wink:)?

Ah, digging further into the code I see that it should take a string that specifies an existing size. Hm, that's nonintuitive.

@chaosphere2112 I have a bug report on VTK repo ( @aashish24 @dlonie if you could push to have it fixed) that prevents me from getting the user's desktop size. That would be the right way to fix this "nice for @doutriaux1 screen issue).

@aashish24 @dlonie the issue is/was: http://www.vtk.org/Bug/view.php?id=14882

It is apparently fixed and in master. Is it in "our" uvcdat-master ? Last I tried it didn't work.

I'll run the tests against a more up-to-date VTK and bump if all goes well.

There have been a few API changes in VTK master that are affecting VCS. I'll get these ironed out and push a branch when it's ready.

#1348 should do it. I need someone to manually test it (buildbot won't handle the VTK update) and regenerate the dv3d vector baseline, since that's a buggy test for me on arch linux.

the size was supposed to be for A4 vs postscript etc... It's more an page_aspect_ratio than anything

Yeah, I figured that out after poking it enough. At some point (post-2.4) it would be nice to have an easier way to specify window size, since it's a bit wonky right now.
